‘I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.’ Philippians 4:13
Christians believe that Jesus is with them in every challenge that they face in their lives. Just like a good trainer standing at the end of a finishing line in a race who encourages the runner to keep going.
Whenever we persevere with something there is always a reward at the end; it may be a medal or a certificate but our reward might also just be a sense of achievement we feel deep inside.
